(Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010) – In preparation to implement a traffic switch on Interstate 75, the right lane of northbound I-75 will be closed to traffic, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, with the closure of the center lane to follow at 10 p.m. This closure will be in place from SR 122 to the Warren/Montgomery county line, with all lanes reopening to traffic by 6 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 2. The traffic switch will move northbound I-75 traffic to the three outside lanes from SR 122 to the county line. Traffic delays may be lengthy during this period of work.

This work is part of the widening and reconstruction of I-75 in Butler and Warren counties.
